EMBRACE KILLER ROBOTS TO SAVE YOUR BUSINESS

The first important technology products created by humans were hand tools made from stone, wood, and bone. That was around 10 million years ago then from hand tools to fire, the next truly disruptive technology, took about eight million years. The time span from fire to cooking was less than one million years and the invention of clothing followed around 300,000 years later. So, finally, after roughly nine and a half million years, we got pockets to carry our tools around with us. Yay, progress.

These were all disruptive technologies; they radically changed how humans lived and ever since, the appearance of new, disruptive technologies has accelerated. For example, mobile cellular devices have managed to outnumber the entire human population of the earth in just over 30 years and the iPhone, launched just over 10 years ago, is now used by an estimated three quarters of a billion people today.

In this session we'll discuss:

Which hot, new disruptive technologies are promising tectonic cultural and business shifts?
How is technology affecting employment and job roles?
How do you evaluate new technologies and figure out whether they have value for your business?
Can we train workers for the future?
Will killer robots wipe us out?
